Sheets is reported to have the Astros on his wish list (a Jerry Crasnick interview/column). Is there any way to gauge if there is reciprocol interest? And, I mean serious interest. Not, sure we’d like him but only if he plays for half of what he’s asking.

I think going after Pudge Rodriguez would be a big mistake, especially with Jason Castro working his way up through the ranks. Plus, as everybody else has mentioned, his agent is Scott Boras. I don’t think we need to waste our time with Boras’s clients. I would caution everybody on making a whole ton of moves until we have had a couple of years under Ricky Bennett’s crop of draft picks under Ed Wade. Plus, isn’t Pudge about 62?

Mr. Bennett do you see either of the Trinidad brothers (assuming they are[Jose and Pollin]) as far as the Majors go in the next three years? Also do you see David Duncan, Jordan Lyles, and Ross Seaton turning into what the Rays have there in Tampa?

Can you tell me if we might have any scouts who may see some good talent in the Latin American countries where our organization is looking foward in signing or drafting? Any thoughts on that area, or is this something we cant see until Spring?

Your chat was really informational to all (okay maybe not everyone but most). Do you know any college or High School talent that Houston looks foward on drafting or try-out for draft purposes?

I know reports say that a deal for Peavy is not going to happen between the Astros and Padres, but my question is why not? A paper said that the Padres were looking for a “wild combination” of players which is why the Astros decided not to try and trade for him, can you give us those names? And one other thing: if we don’t trade for Peavy, why not invest in AJ Burnett(preferrable Burnett) or Derek Lowe(not CC too much of a hassle)? Also, the Padres are looking for a closer and we have a good one, and I have confiedence in our bullpen, why not offer him in a package? Thanks for your time today.

I was wondering if you thought maybe we were back in on peavy? Now that hoffman is gonna be let go i think wade won’t hesitate to put valverde in the discussions to lessen the loss of top prospects. I like valverde but what good is he without a good rotation.

So has any of Major Leagues Teams been talking to the Astros on making trades with them. I know that maybe Pudge Rodriguez would be one. Are maybe Gerald Laird. I have seen him play a lot. He could be like Brad, & Alan Ashby. And I hope the Astros sign Randy Wolf & another No. 2 starter.Like Mike Hampton or Ben Sheets could be one as long as he is another Jason Jennnings. Now as for getting a saver I hope Jose Valvade, I like him. I remember that one game when he got hit nearly in the head but the glove saved him, GOD saved him from getting brain damage. I just hope the Astros get to the World Series next year, they need to get back to the playoffs.
